Measuring Indigenous homelessness: Findings from Our Health Counts Toronto.

Objectives: Our Health Counts (OHC) Toronto, an Indigenous population database which addresses gaps in urban health information, was used to measure Thistle's (2017) 12 dimensions of Indigenous homelessness. Using this framework, we examine the sociodemographic characteristics of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (FNIM) adults living in Toronto, the 12 dimensions as experienced by this population, and the distinctions between FNIM adults who were and those who were not experiencing physical homelessness.

Methods: Respondent-driven sampling (RDS)-II proportions and 95% confidence intervals were produced from the database (n = 915 FNIM adults) to describe key sociodemographic characteristics of the population and to estimate the proportion and number of dimensions of Indigenous homelessness experienced by FNIM adults.

All hands on deck during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maintaining face-to-face medical education and clinical placements.

Medical students must have robust educational experiences, graduate and commence timely employment. Here, we describe how the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) delivered clinical placements in medical programmes over the first three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland, including a student-centred, holistic approach to students' educational, social and health needs with strong student involvement, re-organising the university's primary care team, developing COVID-19 PCR testing on site and re-focusing communications and student services. This resulted in re-arranging the students into learning communities, and students and staff electronically recorded their COVID-19 symptom status daily.

Design and implementation of the Our Health Counts (OHC) methodology for First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (FNIM) health assessment and response in urban and related homelands.

Objectives: Methods for enumeration and population-based health assessment for First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (FNIM) living in Canadian cities are underdeveloped, with resultant gaps in essential demographic, health, and health service access information. Our Health Counts (OHC) was designed to engage FNIM peoples in urban centres in "by community, for community" population health assessment and response.

Methods: The OHC methodology was designed to advance Indigenous self-determination and FNIM data sovereignty in urban contexts through deliberate application of Indigenous principles and linked implementation strategies.

Risky business: medical students' feedback-seeking behaviours: a mixed methods study.

There are differing views on how learners' feedback-seeking behaviours (FSB) develop during training. With globalisation has come medical student migration and programme internationalisation. Western-derived educational practices may prove challenging for diverse learner populations.
